Send em packin before they breed, Minnesota!!

It’s a little too late for that, unfortunately.

Maybe you can push them up to Canada. Hear they have a dandy healthcare system there.

[Boiling Pots]

The Somalians were placed in Minnesota precisely because it was “lilly white.”

The Multiculturalists in the State Department made the decision for the Minnesotans.

[ridesthemiles]

Let them take Al Franken along for the ride...one way.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

They are brought in for purposes of political control. Certain critical areas are flooded and thereafter vote “correctly.” See Maine once a bastion of Republicanism.

[ridesthemiles]

“gangs”...yeah another euphemism for Islamic terroists. Wake up America...... it may already be too late’

A very radical Islam group held a ‘conference’ yesterday in Chicago at the Oak Lawn Hilton.

They are openly recruiting 9-18 y/o young men to carry out their Islamic terror acts.

I will never use a Hilton when traveling ever again. Won’t attend any convention at one- nothing.

Minnesota:

1. Elects Jesse Ventura as Governor (later replaced by Pawlenty)

2. Invites in thousands of Somali muslims.

3. “Elects” Al Franken to the Senate (fair or not, it was close enough for ridicule)

4. Bitches about the condition of the economy (63% think it sucks as of today’s Ras poll)

5. And now is beset with Somali gang violence

Sorry, Minnesota — You emptied the compassion reservior when you sent Franken to the Senate. Suck it up.

It’s the height of arrogance and narcissism to imagine that people who have turned Mogasishu into a uninhabitable anarchic warzone would suddenly become good Americans simply by being in America.

The State Department people who made the decision to import these people should be tried for felony murder, and I mean it.

What genius decided to sponsor the mass transfer of these savages to Minneopolis, previously one of the most pleasant and, weather aside, most livable of our big cities? Somalis have turned their own country into a sewer of poverty, hatred, violence, and intolerance. Why would they not bring their dysfunctional way of life with them? Their mass transfer to Minnesota was a crime perpetrated against the citizens of that fine state. It goes without saying that no more Somalis should be admitted to the USA. And, like any non citizens involved in criminal activities, they should be turned over to ICE for immediate deportation upon conviction. Don't even jail them here. Life in the hell they have made of their own country is worse than prison.

Keith Ellison was a harbinger of discord for Minn. and it’s been downhill ever since.

That’s funny, last week I was visiting Minneapolis also. But I was drinking too much beer to read any Yellow Pages.

bttt

[wardaddy]

I don’t much care for Somalis as a rule, they are big here in taxis

strange lot

[Clemenza]

From what I saw in Seattle, the men worked as cabbies and parking lot attendants, while the women seemed to line up at social services.

Not too many Somalis in New York, or East Africans in general.

[fishtank]

I also had time to go running twice from downtown over to UMN and back again over the foot bridges.

The brazilian bbq was great!

Came back almost ten pounds heavier.

[Tahoe3002]

Thanks for the correction, I do not like the “blame Bush” monotony, but that was when I first heard about them, and it was in Maine, not Mn.

[Towed_Jumper]

“...family fled the chaos and violence of their West African homeland Somalia...”

Geez, the last time I checked a map, Somalia was in EAST AFRICA —not “west Africa.”

Obviously another journalism major wrote this story without checking their basic “facts.” But then again what should we expect from a Minneapolis journalist named “Pat CONDOM”?

...just saying...

[Sawdring]

Hmm, sounds like they are following in the strong traditions of the Cubans, Jamaicans, Dominicans, Italians, Mexicans, and Irish.

[KSCITYBOY]

Lib's in Minneapolis worked hard to import these potential terrorists. They are now reaping the benefits of multiculturalism in the Twin Cities.

[nightwalker]

Hell holes of liberation theology? Where do you get that? Care to elaborate?
